2022 U.S. Senate Races

[evillawyer]

I just don’t get it. Democrats are ruining this country. Inflation, trans insanity, and yet people still went to the polls and voted Democrat. America is filled with masochists apparently.

I'm so happy right now, I'm gonna go to a drag show and happily pay $25 per cocktail.

I agree that candidates were bad. But good grief Pennsylvania elected Fetterman!

Yep. As bad as Oz is I think he’s still a better candidate than Billy Bob. But I’m not a voter in PA so…

 

[BowlBrother85]

Fetterman says hello.

From the Senate chamber? He won.

From the Senate chamber? He won.

Through an interpreter, but yes. Be proud.

America continues to prove that this is the dumbest time in the history of our country

Look at post 883 above. That is your answer. Candidates DO matter.

Meh, agree to some degree. No way in hell the other sides candidates are any better though, especially in Pennsylvania.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Honestly the fact that we’re even using the justification of “at least my party candidate didn’t suck as bad as yours” to send people to DC says just what a failure the existing system is. But we keep doing this insanity every two years

I’m really tired of casting defensive votes.

Dems are just better at politics.

That is debatable if you are only talking about the Senate race in Pennsylvania ... but it is not debatable that Doug Mastriano is one of the worst major party nominees for Governor in the last 20 years. Mastriano had no other platform to run on, other than Trump was cheated out of the 2020 Presidential Election. Mastriano will lose that election by over 750,000 votes, and still claim that it's all because of voter fraud. That kind of rhetoric doesn't register with moderate voters.

If you are into schadenfreude, Fox News is fun to watch right now. They look absolutely mystified at these results.

This is what your simple mind believes triggers people who don’t share your views on the election..

I know. Unbelievable that Boebert and MTG, with a collective IQ of about 80, are both getting reelected.

Oh I'm not justifying for either side. They both suck and in my opinion the country has been going to since 2008 with each and every federal election.

I honestly think anything trans related is stupid policy for the Dems (beyond very obvious things like workplace discrimination). Inflation is not Biden. The US is, comparatively speaking, doing better than other countries on inflation.

I think it started before 2008 but yes I do agree with the sentiment. And I am sick and tired of seeing the same people in DC for decades.

You might be correct and I just didn't notice such a huge swing in things until then. It has definitely got worse and this election changes nothing unless you're a partisan hack

 

[GroverCleveland]

Well, @hog88 , you were right and I was wrong.

Time to say goodbye to Trump. He was not the sole reason for this disaster, but certainly a part of it.

The main culprits were R leadership. They had no plan, message or apparently a clue as to what was going on.

It all started going to hell when the world first learned the phrase “hanging chad”. To me it just seems to have gotten hyper partisan since that point with party narrative above policy considerations for their constituents. And I mean all of them in that.

Sure, that’s sensible. However, poking a finger in the eye of fossil fuels is Not the move right now.

Don't agree with the "hanging chad" part but undoubtedly agree with the rest.

 

[Mr_Henley]

The Dems will now have 51 senate seats and a 2-3 seat House advantage. Those who cheer this, I hope you understand what’s coming. America had an inflection point and chose late term abortion, federalized elections, “reparations” and other money to foreign counties while approach 35% GDP just to service the interest of our debt… all while BRICS meetings are leading to the end of the petro-dollar and reserve curency for the U.S.

By the time the suburban moms (unmarried women voted 69.6% Dem this midterm, an all time record) and college kids realized what they’ve done, it will be too late.

We let the republic fall, but hey, did you see that new Tik Tok thread?!

 

[NorthDallas40]

Not the outcome just the whole circus. From that moment onwards it seems from what I can recollect elections have been decided as much in the courts as they have at the polling stations

 

[utvolpj]

Stop voting for extremist candidates during the Republican Party primary elections (election deniers, Q Anon followers) just because Trump has endorsed them. It is hurting the party's chances of winning elections.

Are those who support sex changes for young children extremist candidates? The head of the dem party says he does

This is one time I’m not happy about being right.

I was hoping for gridlock honestly. Looks like 2 more miserable years ahead.
